Both sides of the direct drum. Just move the direct drum back and forth. Sun gear shells wobble all over the place.
All of that debris could have come out of the cooler. But are you saying that your trans shifts into third at below 20 mph even at wot?
It is difficult to discern the gear changes, must be very soft. It will accelerate like fury and is a bit of a handful; I hope to take my foot off the load pedal before it gets too out of shape, but any time I choose to check (by changing from D to 2) it always shows that it was already in 3rd by then.All of that debris could have come out of the cooler.

There is a new twist to the story... Please see pics
The shuttle valve primary spring has a piece of tube inside, this looks alien and must limit shuttle travel. The ends of this tube are mushroomed over and worn badly.
On page 44, Monroe says that "The shuttle valve controls kickdown "feel" by restricting how fast the fluid is released from the front clutch pack and the outside of the front servo".
I don't see this piece in Monroe's book; has anyone ever seen such a thing?
Is it potentially from a shift kit mod?

I've found the B&M shuttle rod mod in the instructions for 10225, pls see pic. It's interesting to see the punishment that this rod (assuming B&M or similar) has received in my VB, considerable force needed to deform the rod in the previous photos.
My new concern is whether I have the original Chrysler separator plate or perhaps a B&M or similar substitute. Is there a reliable means of identifying the Chrysler plate?
Maybe there is no concern, if the holes sizes are checked/modified as per the Transgo TF2 instructions, it could be any plate?

I hear a lot of talk about a "fresh" valve body..These are like fifty years old...any fifty year olds out there feeling very "fresh"?...The devil you know versus the devil you don't know..
